This Year Target Splurge (so I Hope)

After getting it reflashed, bigger brakes and lowering sport spring, driving the Pocong now is almost satisfying. Hehe ‘almost’ means, there’s something in the pipeline, I wonder when it’ll ever end :(

Goodies in mind targeted to further improve suspension for street use with minor sacrifice on comfort. Naturally I’m looking to H&R for answers. Expensive they may be but worth every penny considering how well engineered products they’ve been producing. These three are my target this year:


H&R ARB

Unlike the use of steel plate, H&R ARB made of 50CrV4 steel alloy - the highest tensile strength apart from carbon fibre. It just doesn’t end there, it has forged ends and urethane composite bushings that eliminate squeaks and doesn’t require lubrication. 26mm front, 25mm rear diameter, hopefully can improve lateral stability and cornering grip, while reducing body roll.




H&R ‘Triple C’

Practical terms as camber screw. Need this to dial more -ve camber to the tyres. Can’t afford to have Camber Plates, this ‘Triple C’ will work just as good for street use.


Federal 595RSR

Stock Conti CS2 already nearing its half life, time to scout for replacement. Although it rolls at tight corners due to soft sidewall, on high speed corners, it provide tenacious grip for everyday tyres (to me at least) and one of the tyres to have on rainy day by far. Having heard many positive reviews for 595RSR on Polo, I’m aiming these in another 15-20k clicks considering through grapevine, someone got it for RM350/piece at Jooi Seng. Awesome thread design eh?




Apart from these three, I’m looking to get it breath better (through the use of after market DV and turbo inlet pipe) and better cooling (Forge SMIC is way too expensive) but if these are in, my pocket gonna blow real hard. Haihhh…
